Soy and dairy protien intolerance

Hi mommy's out there. I am hoping for some guidance in the right direction. My baby girl is 7 weeks old and has a protein intolerance. She is strictly breast fed, it has been a journey changing my diet to her needs! She seems to be doing so much better and is happy and healthy 10lbs. I go back to work in a few weeks and am worried about my supply. Due to her allergy all the milk I had pumped cannot not be used for her. So I am way behind where I want to be for her supply and am only getting about 7or 8 oz a day put back for her.

Any advice on how to get my supply up, and or soy free dairy free go free formula you have tried and trust??

I use Nutramigen formula for my LO (little one) it helps with the allergy, I just quit breastfeeding I wasn't producing enough and after an 8day stay at the hospital and me getting thrush again he was not interested in my boobs. I'm a little heart broken, but I know fed is best!

Following. DS (dear son) has terrible silent reflux and a suspected dairy allergy, just diagnosed yesterday. It seems daunting with all the diet changes but I’m going to try and use it as motivation to eat healthier. Not sure if you considered this but I’m thinking of contacting my insurance and seeing if they would cover a consultation with a nutritionalist

Good idea! And good luck to you! I definitely feel healthier now that my diet has changed. It is amazing how many packagesd foods contain soy and dairy!

Hi! My girls have an intolerance. I can’t have dairy, soy or eggs. I changed my diet about 3 weeks ago and it’s made a good change in their weight gains. My girls went from gaining half an ounce a day to a full ounce a day. Their symptoms were constant vomiting, slimy poops, gas and poor weight gain. They are breastfed so I have to change what I take in, but it’s worth it because the special formula they’d need is crazy expensive, especially for two babies. Turns out there is soy in everything but I’m learning new recipes etc. This is really hard though. The GI dr told us to keep this diet until the girls are at least 10 months old before trying to eat it again. I’ll miss eggs and cheese. Sigh.

Oh and I have a deep freezer full of gallons of milk from when I was pumping while they were in the nicu and after until they started nursing. I can’t use it. I refuse to get rid of it, I’ll keep it to see if they can tolerate it later at some point.

With DD (dear daughter) had to go of dairy, soy, eggs, nuts and wheat. I probably would have been off need too, but I don't eat it.
Lots of water, mothers milk tea and oatmeal. I didn't work, otherwise I would have supplemented, whicjbi should have done in retrospect. I ended up losing an extreme amount of weight and ended up in the hospital when I got a stomach bug.
